Vehicles parked one after another on the side of the road

A scene has been captured where cars are parked in a line, occupying an entire lane on a road in the Seo-gu district of Daejeon.

On the 8th, an article titled "The Situation of Using the Road as a Parking Lot" was posted on the automotive online community 'Bobaedream.'

The author, Mr. A, revealed, "This is in Seo-gu, Daejeon, and it's a road, not a parking lot," showing a picture of cars parked one after another along a two-lane road marked with yellow solid lines.

According to the photo shared by Mr. A, the problematic vehicles are parked along a line of villas, taking up one entire driving lane.

This issue seems to have arisen due to a severe shortage of parking spaces compared to the number of vehicles owned by residents, despite having designated parking areas nearby.

Mr. A commented, "Is this from China? This isn’t even a parking lot, it's a road. Is this real?" He further questioned, "Why is Daejeon like this?"

Netizens responded with comments such as, "Report all of them," "This is definitely a report to the Safety Report Center," and "This happens because there are too many cars in a small area."

Meanwhile, citizen complaints regarding illegal parking have increased by 52.6%, rising from 970,166 cases in 2019 to 1,480,455 cases last year.

Experts point to the issue of 'lack of parking space' as the primary cause of such illegal parking.
